Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

Roma have 10 points after 7 games, they can hardly afford to play for a draw with any opponent, even a stronger one. 11 points after 8 games sounds depressing. On the other hand, Roma knows that Inter only needs a win, so it makes sense to sit in deep defense hoping for a random goal in a counterattack. Maybe this game really will end in a draw with such a scenario.

Roma is not in a good form to make things happen in this match, but they might be able to surprise us by drawing the game. Inter is in a good form and will not want to end the match in a draw because it is an important match that they need to win. There is no strategy that Roma can use apart from playing a defensive game and that will give Inter some difficulties of breaking through. Perhaps, too much pressure from Inter on Roma's defense can cause mistake that will enable Inter penetrate and find the back of the net. If Juric can draw this match, it means that the club will have hope in him and give him more time with patience to improve the team performance.

Inter have a weak defence this season, conceding 9 goals in 7 games. In comparison, they conceded 22 goals in the whole of last season. So theoretically Roma have a choice of how to play, maybe an aggressive game with an emphasis on attack will be a surprise for Inter and they won’t be able to find an answer, who knows. But as I wrote earlier, it looks like this game will end with Inter winning 2-1.

Roma is far worse compared to the last season, and i don't even see a chance for them to steal three points from Inter. They were bad in every way: poor tactics, inconsistent play, and bad decisions. I'm still believing Inter will destroy them by a huge margin. They lost against Elfsborg and drew against Monza.

Enough to prove how poor they are. So, they have no choice about  how to play against a team that is much better in intensity, tactics, and gameplay. Inter win 2-0.

Of course, from last season to this season Inter has been in a good performance compared to Rona who have been battling to improve their performance but it hasn't been possible for them to achieve it. They are worse this season and I don't see any chance of them drawing Inter by mistake because Inter will dismantle their defense that they feel they are strong in. I don't know why anyone will think that it is possible for Roma to win Inter when they don't have a good game strategy that they can use to outsmart Inter. It will be a usual defeat for Roma.

I'm still believing Inter will destroy them by a huge margin. They lost against Elfsborg and drew against Monza.

Roma is far from success this season because have been looking at the possible way that they will bounce back because they way Napoli, inter and juventus are on the run it wound be that easy for Roma to be able to keep up with the top guys that are showing more consistency. And their last five games have not show any encouragement coming from them. They will just maintain their current position or even go below.  They are bad with everything at the moment.

Enough to prove how poor they are. So, they have no choice about  how to play against a team that is much better in intensity, tactics, and gameplay. Inter win 2-0.

Roma is poor at their performance and they won't go that far and they are playing inter next they won't be able to win, they lack stability, because if you look at inter they have eye to win the trophy so they will not want to make it easy for them to win just like that.

[bitgolden]

The reason why Juventus doesn't want to keep Pogba is obvious, he got "tainted" with this whole thing and they are doing alright, they do not want to get him back to the team and play him and make some chaos happen in the team in the locker room.

I am not saying if he starts playing then he will cause trouble, but others could cause trouble, even if one of the players says something about this drug thing to him then we are going to end up with a lot of trouble and we can't really see anything changing all that easily. This is why we need to consider how this could be a very different situation for them and we need to focus on what to do next.

I believe Pogba at some other team would be a lot better and I can see him playing at Saudi league exactly because of this reason. Because there, he will be the best player or thereabouts when he joins a team and he is going to show how talented he is and he is not going to get players say anything to him, would be a risk to the other player, because unless they are better than Pogba, which only a handful of players in that entire league is, then we are going to see team side with Pogba, making him feel better about himself instead.

But as I wrote earlier, it looks like this game will end with Inter winning 2-1.

I don't think it is as a result of a weak defense that inter Milan have conceded much goals this season because if you had noticed then you would have seen the circumstances that led to them conceding those goal. It is normal for teams to concede goals because some of these teams they may face some teams with good scoring abilities and at such conceding goals could be inevitable due to the nature of the team they are up against but the most important thing is for them to keep winning and then try to reduce the deficit.

[Raflesia]

The case involving Pogba is a fairly complicated case, especially since he was previously a Juventus player until 2026, so indeed they have to consider many factors before deciding to keep, release or sell Pogba, because after all Pogba is a player who has a role, contribution and also extraordinary talent so far, but on the other hand, Juventus also must to think about how the risk they will get if they stay maintaining Pogba in squad after a bad reputation have at the moment, but whether or not the information circulating at the moment is true or not, but it is reported that Pogba has now been officially released by Juventus, so I think they may regret the decision if later Pogba can find his best form with a new club after his suspension is over.

But for now I still feel that Juventus will try to give Pogba a chance even though their relationship was quite complicated before.
Just like Tonali at Newcastle I think Pogba and Juventus will also do the same scheme especially for now they don't need to bother to bring Pogba back to Turin because his status is certainly now a free agent so there won't be many obstacles for Motta to provide space in his coaching for Pogba.

Although in the end we know that he needs more adaptation because it has been a season and a half that he has been banned from entering the field for official situations but in the end this will not be too difficult when Pogba is still maintaining his body condition although there will definitely be a habituation situation that must be done but I think he will still be able to adapt. As for him not being able to contribute better than other players, I think that's a later matter, the most important thing for now is that Pogba will definitely be at Juventus first when he returns to the pitch and completes his ban.

One key transformation that has been the advantage Napoli may be enjoying and probably capitalizing on to seemingly conquer the Serie A recently could be the arrival of Lukaku and their new coach who has been fantastic with his performance in the past few games so far even if like you rightly mentioned, they didn't start off really good but so far they have been brilliant which i expect to see same against Empoli such that the home advantage wouldn't be enough for them to see as anything they have got over Napoli.

Empoli who are currently in the top ten of the league certainly cannot afford to take Napoli lightly who have won five of their last seven games. I even think that a home game for Empoli will result in nothing but a defeat against the home team as the opponents are Napoli. But Napoli themselves cannot afford to make any more mistakes in that game if they want to continue winning in order to strengthen their position at the top of the league. Because so far I have also seen good changes in the Napoli team which will greatly benefit Napoli as a team that has won Serie A.

This series currently has Napoli in the number one position in the points table and that means they are doing very well on a regular basis. So they will never lose the match with Empoli. If Napoli lose the match with Empoli then how will they resist Juventus, Milan, Inter. so this match I think is a very easy match for Napoli and this is one of their chances to collect points very easily. Which will help them hold their position more firmly

I agree with you this match is a big chance for Napoli to collect 3 points easily.  I am almost completely sure that Napoli will win this match.  Napoli is a very good team and they have a record of winning the Italian league many times.  So if they can't take advantage of such easy matches then they will be under a lot of pressure later on.  Napoli have been playing very well since the beginning of this season which has led them to move to the top number 1 position in the points table. Missing an opportunity will see Inter occupy first position. And then overtake Inter again will not be an easy task for Napoli

The news about Paul Pogba has been appears today that Fabrizio Romano through an his official twitter account has been confirmed that Paul Pogba and Juventus are agree to separate which mean Juventus have already to terminate his contract and since now Paul Pogba is not Juventus player anymore and i think this is according to people prediction because the current Juventus is very solid so they don't need Pogba anymore besides that Pogba has high salary and with terminate his contract Juventus can already reduce the players salary burden

Pogba is still recognized as big player and currently his status as free transfer players and i am sure some of European clubs or Arabian Clubs will be attempts to gets his signature in January but if he want money then Saudi Arabian clubs could be good destination for him


Source : https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1845741331689431261

I think Saudi is going to be the better destination for him because even though he is still a good player he is nothing that he used to be. And that's why I believe it will be better for him to go to the Saudi league. He will be able to make the money that he wants. And every player wants to make a huge amount of money towards the end of his career as a good retirement plan. I didn't think I would be talking about the retirement plan of Pogba this soon but it is what it is. Him getting banned for use of performance enhancing drugs is the thing that killed his career and I don't think he will be able to make a comeback from that. Even though I still have doubts about him actually using anything, I have to accept the reality. And he should as well. It is better to go to Saudi and get the bag instead of sitting around and hoping that after such an incident any European club will actually give him a contract.

[Texac]

Yeah, very happy to see that De Gea is finally comeback to the pro scene after he has been out from playing football for several years since his contract with Manchester United was running out. He looks so happy when he is playing at Fiorentina. They seem treat him better than what Manchester United did after Ten Hag came as a new manager.

I think a massive injustice was done to De Gea when his contract was not renewed. He was a top goalkeeper, he had saved them from a lot of losses with his amazing saves. To let go of a club legend like that, when he is not playing that bad is disrespecting that player.

I feel for De Gea because he was out of football for a good while, and it is so good to see that he is back in action and playing so well now. He can keep playing at the top level if he is given good support, for sure.

[el kaka22]

Juventus will have to pay a lot of money to Pogba as well, people keep forgetting about this. Since he is returning, Pogba is deserving of his money and they will have to pay him. This is a player who hasn't played in a while and a controversial player, so from Juventus point of view he should be let go in order to save money on a player like him and makes no sense to keep him playing.

However, if we are talking about just this part, then we could consider how this is going to be not so easy for Pogba because just like how Juventus didn't want him, there could be other teams which doesn't want him neither. They should definitely look for something further and with time I am sure Pogba will find a team who wants him, not going to be easy but can be found. The reality is how we could end up with some troubled results, he could end up with a team and just move from team to team there if he doesn't fix his mindset for the future and keeps doing the same mistakes.

[Fuso.hp]

Each team has played around seven matches in the Italian league where Napoli have managed to secure the number one position in the points table so far. Inter Milan won the Italian league title very easily last season but this season's challenge is going to be tough for them. Along with Napoli, other teams in the Italian league are performing well this season, so it is not possible to say anything in advance whether Inter Milan can win the league title this season. Last season, AC Milan was second in the points table and Inter Milan was first in the points table, but even though these two teams are in first and second place, the difference in points between them is huge. Although Inter Milan is at the second position of the points table but the points gap between Inter Milan and the team at the first position of the points table is 2.

And their last five games have not show any encouragement coming from them. They will just maintain their current position or even go below.  They are bad with everything at the moment.

Roma must do better improvements for the upcoming matches because currently there is still a chance for Roma to approach the points of the other top teams because Roma is only six points behind Napoli who is currently at the top of the Serie A standings. And for the match this weekend it seems like it will be quite tough for Roma even though they will play at home, because the visiting team they will face is Inter Milan so this weekend it might still be quite difficult for Roma to do good improvements.

[Cryptmuster]

Roma is far worse compared to the last season, and i don't even see a chance for them to steal three points from Inter. They were bad in every way: poor tactics, inconsistent play, and bad decisions. I'm still believing Inter will destroy them by a huge margin. They lost against Elfsborg and drew against Monza.

Enough to prove how poor they are. So, they have no choice about  how to play against a team that is much better in intensity, tactics, and gameplay. Inter win 2-0.

Despite the fact that they conduct a lot of attacks, they have big problems with scoring goals, and as it turned out, Dovbyk has a hard time scoring goals without support, as he did in Girona, Dybala is also not having his best season. Roma have a good defense, but they clearly need to think about strengthening their attack. It will be difficult for them against Inter, and in this match, first of all, they should rely on their defense, no matter how it sounds, but a draw in this match will be a good result for Roma.

[bering]

At the beginning of season Parma has done well because at that time they were successfully to beat AC Milan and after this result i thought Parma will being an dark horses team who potentially can make strong teams to slipped but clearly i was wrong about that because since the match against AC Milan i have seen Parma could not get another win until week 7 and this condition makes their position is near to relegation zone

This weekend Parma will playing away against Como and i think they have to beware of Como because in the last several matches Como has successfully to bounce back and gets some positive results although they had just lost from Napoli in the last match but Como performance is much better than them and i know the match between mediocre teams is hard to predicted but i think Como potentially can able to beat Parma

Before Pogba was caught in a doping case, we know that he received an offer from an Arab team. So I think he will also get a return offer when his sentence is up. Moreover, currently his contract with Juventus has also been terminated. So currently Pogba is on free status. So from now on there will be a lot of talk from clubs who want the player's services. And one club from France is also interested in Pogba. And many see it as a good opportunity for Pogba. But if Pogba wants to be more reliable at a club then going to an Arab club is the best choice. Because I'm sure an offer will come to Pogba from a club from the SPL.

[Silence Scream]

because he simply hasn't played for a long time and won't be able to keep up with the new guys who are coming up and who are really very young, Italy is proof of this, there are excellent players who score and entertain so I wonder why they should playing pogba instead of a young player, they could rather sell him and make money on it

A big team like Juventus certainly has a lot of considerations when recruiting and selling the players they want because Juventus has also experienced problems in the Italian League so they will certainly consider their good name more than keeping players who are having cases like Pogba. But what we have to understand is that every player who still has the talent to play in every match will definitely be easier to sell because other teams also really want players like that to be in their squad. So don't be surprised when Pogba is still a player who is more desired by every team because he actually still has the ability to play in quite crucial matches.

The case involving Pogba is a fairly complicated case, especially since he was previously a Juventus player until 2026, so indeed they have to consider many factors before deciding to keep, release or sell Pogba, because after all Pogba is a player who has a role, contribution and also extraordinary talent so far, but on the other hand, Juventus also must to think about how the risk they will get if they stay maintaining Pogba in squad after a bad reputation have at the moment, but whether or not the information circulating at the moment is true or not, but it is reported that Pogba has now been officially released by Juventus, so I think they may regret the decision if later Pogba can find his best form with a new club after his suspension is over.

It is said that there have been offers from MLS and France for Paul Pogba so far. He can return to the field after March 2025. His age is also suitable for playing at a high level for a few more years. I think the team that will get him, the average teams in France, may be good for a start. Of course, Marseille may also want to bring him to the team and become more ambitious for the championship. After all, getting him is a risk and it is up to the team to take this risk or not. Let's see which team Pogba will go to.

[tiCeR]

...

But for now I still feel that Juventus will try to give Pogba a chance even though their relationship was quite complicated before.

As for him not being able to contribute better than other players, I think that's a later matter, the most important thing for now is that Pogba will definitely be at Juventus first when he returns to the pitch and completes his ban.

I pretty much rule out the idea that Juventus Turin would give Pogba another chance. There is no reason for them to do that. His list of injuries has been endlessly long before he got caught with his doping scandal. So on the one hand they would give a player a chance who is injured most of the time, and on the other hand they would give a player a chance who has been caught doping. It's bad for their financials, it is bad for their reputation, it is bad for the perception within the team and they are a huge club in the world.

If Pogba was a 23 years old super talent, then maybe that would have made sense. But I am sure that Pogba still wants to make big money and that's where Juventus Turin will definitely draw the line.

This season comes with completely different mentality from almost all teams, we are seeing how every team is improving which has resulted to a very tight competition in almost all the leagues across Europe, all teams now no longer see any team as big team, they played well to be getting all they can from them.

Napoli was not in good form last season, they finished 10th last season and couldn't even make it either Champions League or Europa League, this season that they signed new coach Antonio Conte is becoming a better season for them because they look very serious and can be able to win the league if they have consistency because Conte, is an experienced coach.
I will still expect AC Milan and Juventus to have some inclined in their performance because they need to make the competition interesting.

The current show of Parma has proved that the win over AC Milan on match day two is just luck. Since then they have not won any match but have lost three games and drawn three. I no longer consider them as an underdog that can surprise us this season. Parma has not been impressive but their current performance is better than Como's. They won two games before their recent loss to league leader Napoli. Both teams will be doing all they can to win the game because it will help them in the race to avoid relegation.

Before Pogba was caught in a doping case, we know that he received an offer from an Arab team. So I think he will also get a return offer when his sentence is up.

Because I'm sure an offer will come to Pogba from a club from the SPL.

We will keep hearing speculations about the future of Paul Pogba until he finally seals a deal. There are reports that Olympique de Marseille
want to get his services but there is no concrete evidence that this news is valid. He would get offers from different clubs because he is a gifted player.

We will keep hearing speculations about the future of Paul Pogba until he finally seals a deal. There are reports that Olympique de Marseille
want to get his services but there is no concrete evidence that this news is valid. He would get offers from different clubs because he is a gifted player. 

Yeah he is a very gifted player who has a very good records on the premier League with Manchester United before he left but however the only thing is that we are not really sure if Paul Pogba we use to no and love his performance will be the same way because he has been out of the league matches for long now and even if he tries to keep himself very active in training but it could still not be enough when he resumes playing on the 2025.

And secondly the reason why the speculation may not be right is because Marseille has not seen him perform for a long time so is only after they have seen that he is still very good before they can go for him and besides his contract with Juventus is still active so he will still be playing for the Juventus till the end of his contract which is 2026.

Parma assumes that Seria A is easy, like the previous relegation where they were promoted, but despite winning their second league game against AC Milan, they have found it tough to beat any other opponents, and they are currently battling in 15th place with 6 points. Some clubs can play well at the start of the season, and as the season goes on, they decline. Parma is quite awful, they had only played seven games this season and were unable to endure the pressure of their opponents, even against Cagliari; I did not expect them to lose, yet they were humiliated at home.

Furthermore, I am confident that Parma will lose the next game against Como since we know that Como has made a strong comeback against many teams this season, we were surprised by how they came back against Atalanta; and defeating a team like Atalanta is not a simple task.  I'll bet on Como to win the match, I don't consider them a failure because of their previous defeat to Napoli. The bookies offer Como @ 1.97 and Parma @ 3.81. I'll pick Como to win the match because they're playing at home and have more opportunities to win.
